The Dunwich Horror (part 4)

We’re back and we’re preparing for the apocalypse. To be fair, this seems to be a pretty understated apocalypse. It mostly involves an invisible monster prancing around a hilltop. Maybe the creature will do something world-ending up there. For now, we’re mostly worried about our cattle. Main Topic: The Dunwich Horror This is the final part of our unusually long look at Lovecraft’s weird tale, The Dunwich Horror. It’s taken us four episodes to cover it all, but we think this is warranted. Whether or not you think this is a good story (and there’s some dissent about this in the episode) it is an important one. Lovecraft laid out some key components of the Cthulhu Mythos here. The tale may arguably be less than the sum of its parts, but oh what parts it has. As well as the story itself, we also look at its spread into other media. * The Dunwich Horror (1970) * The Dunwich Horror (2009) * Beyond the Dunwich Horror (2008) * H P Lovecraft’s Dunwich Horror and Other Stories (2007) * The H P Lovecraft Historical Society’s Dark Adventure Radio Theatre adaptation * A comic adaptation from IDW, scripted by Joe R Lansdale * Keith Herber’s Call of Cthulhu supplement, Return to Dunwich (1991) * A Call of Cthulhu scenario from Theatre of the Mind’s Eye, Death in Dunwich (1983) * The Pagan Publishing board game The Hills Rise Wild (2000) * Fantasy Flight’s Dunwich Legacy expansion for their Arkham Horror board game * The short story collection, The Dulwich Horror and Others (2015) by David Hambling As promised, here is Aleister Crowley doing “that thing with his hands”. The resemblance to Dean Stockwell is uncanny. Also as promised, possibly the worst move trailer ever made. And why stop with trailers? Here’s the entirety of H P Lovecraft’s Dunwich Horror and Other Stories. News 150 Episodes Somehow, we’ve hit 150 episodes! We’ll cheerfully ascribe this to hard work, dedication and passion,
